WE DO NOT
PLAY DICE.

A specialized non-custodial prediction market fund that runs quantitative strategies on on-chain markets. The fund does not custody capital—assets stay in vaults you control.

“We trade certainty in a world of probability.
Finally, a system that wins when the world changes.

Strategic Thesis

WHY POLYTIER

01

UNCORRELATED RETURNS

Independent of traditional equity markets — we execute based on real-world events, not stock sentiment.

02

QUANTIFIABLE EDGE

Every position is the output of a mathematical model. No guessing, no sentiment. Deflated Sharpe 1.0, PBO 0.00%.

03

NON-CUSTODIAL

Your vault, your keys. Polytier never holds your funds. Revoke bot access at any time.

How We Share Returns

FUND ECONOMICS

Hurdle Rate
15%

LPs receive a 15% annual preferred return first. We participate in profits only above this threshold.

Performance Structure
HWM

High-watermark protection. All losses recovered before any performance share is taken.

Custody Risk
0%

Each LP deploys their own EIP-1271 vault on Polygon. Polytier never holds your funds.

Strategy I — Crypto Price Arbitrage

ORACLE
Z-SCORE

01

“The Market Hasn't Caught Up.”

Every 5 minutes, Polymarket opens a new “BTC Up or Down” market. Market makers keep prices near $0.50 even when Bitcoin has already moved on Binance.

We measure the lag. We compute the z-score of the BTC/ETH price move against realized volatility. When the oracle probability diverges from the market price by more than our edge threshold, we buy.

SHARP
CONSENSUS

02

“Follow the Specialists.”

A small group of wallets on Polymarket consistently trade ahead of public information. They know sports, crypto, politics — and they profit.

We identify and follow them. We profile 90 days of wallet trading history, score specialists by category using adaptive regime weights, and enter markets where 3+ specialists agree — sizing via Empirical Kelly.

Strategy III — Weather Forecast Models

TEMPEST
EMOS

03

“Better Weather Models.”

Polymarket weather markets are priced off public forecasts. Public forecasts are systematically miscalibrated.

We calibrate better. We post-process GFS + ECMWF ensemble forecasts using Ensemble Model Output Statistics (EMOS) regression — a non-homogeneous Gaussian model that produces sharper probabilities than the market prices.
